Starward commented on: A litany of manic adventures by SSmoothie 4 years 3 weeks* ago* This is an excellent poem,: This is an excellent poem, and you deploy the metaphor of music quite well. The center of the poem is in the lines "And plucking joy from the air / A glorious spiritual liturgy / How beautiful now since we've learned to pray . . ." And the last four lines shows the effect of the process described in the poem's center. The hopefulness conveyed in this poem is like a cup of cool water in the scorching heat of the desert of our squabbles and despairs in this difficult time. [ go to comment ]

crypticbard commented on: murder at the kaisarion by redbrick 4 years 3 weeks* ago* There is comfort that it is: There is comfort that it is deemed so by an esteemed reader. Thoughts are less that half a penny cheap, even to the most intimate of relations. Thank you for indicating so. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: plastic dolls, amirite? by Pungus 4 years 3 weeks* ago* Oh wow, intense scenario.: Oh wow, intense scenario. Curious too because of language the old British classic films mix in with the samurai celluloid masterpieces. That is totally the reader's conceiving. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: by enemies enslaved by Pungus 4 years 3 weeks* ago* It's curious how deep down we: It's curious how deep down we all know this feeling and episode and how invariably different for each one this journey may be. "barfed up bite" That image stands out and reminds me of the allusion of the proverbial dog returning to its vomit. [ go to comment ]

patriciajj commented on: In the Fallow Field by patriciajj 4 years 3 weeks* ago* I'm always left humbled and: I'm always left humbled and breathless by your comments that hit the mark with stunning precision and beauty. Thank you so much for reading and understanding the nuances of this poem that was an anniversary gift a lifetime (or so it seems) ago. My deepest gratitude, fine Poet. [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: murder at the kaisarion by redbrick 4 years 3 weeks* ago* Thanks Patricia quite: Thanks Patricia quite literally my gratitude for your kind and fitting words. I never know if poems like this would work. They are not the easiest topics to navigate and being by matter of information and established 'lore' a rich fodder for what is termed as 'found poetry' and the like. So your most appreciated consideration of it is genuine and from the heart. To be tasteful and yet opening up what to others may be an open-shut case and giving it a form and expression from a visiting mind and generation, that brings to life and bridges between epochs and understandings. (A metered exposition might be an apt description for this, perhaps) [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: murder at the kaisarion by redbrick 4 years 3 weeks* ago* An impressive combination of: An impressive combination of meter, history and tightly-packed drama that doesn't merely depict the brutality of the events, but reveals nefarious motives and a centuries-old cover-up. An explosive presentation. Bravo! [ go to comment ]
crypticbard commented on: In the Fallow Field by patriciajj 4 years 3 weeks* ago* As winter sets in again, this: As winter sets in again, this 2022, an opportune time to meditate and imbibe from a poem such as this. And it speaks with an eloquence that is familiar to your poetic voice as it is to the heart that seeks. First to be invited to peruse the burial ground of both sweet and savage seasons past. And that image of mints which seem to be a constant companion of aging together with throat lozanges, chaptstick, and a handy bottle of lemon water. Last winter we had our first successful planting of crocuses and though they bloomed rather shyly at first there is hope that they will bloom again with renewed vigour when their time has come. Thanks for having kept this poem posted for 2 decades running. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: *Yet [/+/^] : 27.225 MHz, Some Final Measures; A Quatrain Inspired By 1st Thessalonians 5:17** by Starward-Led 4 years 3 weeks* ago* Thank you for that insight,: Thank you for that insight, astute as always. The summary of prayer, as you have written it, is very precise, theologically, without sounding like an academic textbook. [ go to comment ]
